now do you guys remember the story of a duke university student who jokingly created an entire thesis about her sexual exploits on campus her name is karen owen and while her writings left many a duke university athlete with either a tarnished or perhaps a heightened reputation thanks to her detailed account of how good they were in bed well it actually spread far beyond that and it took the news world by storm why would she do such a thing as she is slut and she just like every other female college student are the men the victims who leaked it because this show how nothing is private on the internet anymore there were millions of questions being asked and it seems like some of the duke faculty and how they have decided to make her entire story an educational matter and a letter sent out to history majors a dupe they're now invited to a forum to discuss the historical perspectives on karen o. and sex list and i'm not making that up either the letter even says that the idea simply is that karen owen isn't a person in a vacuum but rather someone within a particular historical context su
